Savoury and earthy, a delicate blend of rose petal, violets and red cherry. A fine and subtle balance of fruit and tannin.
The King River flows down from the heights of Victoria’s Alpine region and has done so for millennia, slowly building a fertile plain of mineral rich alluvial soils. These soils are the broken-down bones of Victoria’s famous high-country. Cool air follows the river down from the mountains, settling in the valley and slowing the ripening of the fruit on the vines that sit alongside the majestic river. This cool climate produces subtle but complex wines that are beautifully balanced and finely structured.
Modesty reigns. A mid-weight wine to be slurped, sipped or shared amongst friends.
“Sourced from a King Valley vineyard at 350m elevation that’s planted with the newest generation of Sangiovese clones available in Australia. With its cherry plum and floral aromas, this immediately accessible and brightly fruited wine was made to be enjoyed with margherita pizza in front of the TV on a school night”.
